I am currently sitting here, typing this entry, all alone without anyone of my mates around in their rooms. Everyone is out eating dinner, walking around, or namely just having fun, while I am stuck here with a really bad stomach ache.

It has not been the best of days for me. First of all I am down with diarrhoea. I’m not entirely sure what is the cause of it but it is still bugging me after 3 days. Luckily the feverish feeling I felt on Monday did not escalate to anything more troublesome. I guess I have not adapted to the food here well enough yet, even though the only thing I’ve been eating is Egg Fried Rice.

Egg Fried Rice itself, is another problem. I’ve been eating the same thing so many times, that I have suddenly lost my appetite. I skipped breakfast and only ate some street food for lunch. It tasted good though.

Moreover, today’s math quiz did not go well for me. While some people were able to finish it in an astonishing 10 minutes, I struggled to almost the end, and yet could not complete the paper. I guess that really sums up my day.

Although I had a good start here in China, things have suddenly changed for the worst, given what I have described above. But don’t get me wrong. As soon as I am feeling any better, I’ll be looking to get out of the hotel more and try to immerse deeper into this big Chinese community around me. Of course, much time will also be needed to practice my Maths.

As for now, I shall stay quiet in my room and wait for the chicken burger that Jonathan promised to buy for me.
